Chapter 198 Life on Earth
Claire lowered her head, staring at the box in her hand, speechless in silence.

About an hour later, two people hurried in at the gate of the police station.

"Claire?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind, Claire's heart trembled, she raised her face and suddenly turned half of her body to look out.

A tall boy in a college uniform supported a woman with a bent back and stood by the door.

Looking at this strange girl with a thin figure, plump skin and fair skin in front of them, the two of them stood in place and did not approach, their originally apprehensive expressions suddenly turned disappointed.

Although the facial features are similar, such a healthy girl is completely different from the skinny black Claire in their images.

"Officer, I think you made a mistake." Andrew said disappointedly: "My sister doesn't have such a plump and fair body. I think she must be so beautiful if she doesn't have cancer."

The policeman's eyes immediately cast over.

Claire stood up slowly while leaning on the table. She moved her lips and forced a smile, "Andrew, it seems that you are listening to me and going to school. This school uniform is so beautiful on you."

"And mom, I don't know if I can wear the blue sweater you knitted for me now that I've gained weight."

As soon as these words came out, the bodies of the two people by the door shook in unison.

The woman next to Andrew immediately broke free from the hand that was holding her, and hurried to Claire, reaching out to hold her face.

After staring carefully, Donna's lips trembled, and her finely lined eyes filled with tears in an instant, "Claire, it's my Claire."

No matter how bad her eyes are, she will never mistake her daughter.

"Mom." Claire hugged her with open arms, stroking her back with her fingers, and comforted her softly: "I'm back."

"Why did you jump down then! Why did you jump down! Do you know that my heart died with you at that time!" Donna waved her arms and hit her on the back again and again, crying instantly. Heartbroken.

"Sorry, sorry mom."

Claire's eyes were red, and she apologized over and over again, "I selfishly thought that was the best choice, but I made a mistake."

Donna folded her arms, hugged her tightly, and said, "Fortunately, you're back. God sent you back to me intact after taking you away."

Claire burst into tears, "I love your mother, I love you."

It was only at this moment that Andrew came to his senses in a daze. He still couldn't believe it when he stepped forward, "You disappeared in mid-air at the beginning, but now."

He didn't know how to describe what had happened and what was happening now. A thousand words came to his mouth and he just said, "What have you experienced? How do you look like now. How can you be so healthy?"

This is totally not the state that a girl dying of cancer should be in. What happened to his sister Claire in the past year when he disappeared?
Young Andrew was both delighted and confused.

There were too many things, and Claire couldn't explain clearly at once.

She freed one arm and rubbed his head hard, "Can't you come and hug me first?"

Andrew felt guilty for a while, stretched out his arms to hold her and her mother in his arms, and his tone became choked, "I thought you would never come back, I miss you very much, sister."

"I know." Claire buried her face in his chest, choked up and said, "We are reunited again."

The three hugged each other for a while, and Donna, who had recovered from her emotions, tightly hugged Claire's arms with her weathered hands, "I won't let you disappear again, let's go home, and we are saying, your The room is still available."

The case of Claire's disappearance will be closed at the end of 2022.

When she followed her mother and younger brother out of the police station, her stomach suddenly churned, her complexion changed suddenly, she broke away from Donna and her younger brother's hands to hold on to the wall, and spat out a pile of filth with a 'wow' sound.

Until she vomited out all the remaining food in her stomach, Claire's throat was burning like iron, her head began to feel dizzy, double images appeared before her eyes, and the voice in her ears became buzzing. No words.

It seems to be the sequelae of the shuttle back, or what...?
"Claire!"

A second before she passed out, she heard them shouting in panic.

In the darkness, the disgusting smell of disinfectant filled her nose again.

The beeping sound of the medical equipment in her ears seemed to bring her back to the painful years of cancer.

The nausea in her stomach decreased a lot, Claire moved her closed eyelids uncomfortable, and slowly opened them.

On the snow-white ceiling of the hospital, two bags of medicine were hooked on the booster stand next to her, and they were slowly flowing into her body along with the infusion tube.

"Um"

Claire turned her sore neck, the soreness in her mouth after vomiting made her very uncomfortable.

She turned her head and looked at the tall and thin Andrew curled up on the narrow sofa under the blind beside her.

She seemed to have been in a coma for a long time.

"Andrew." She called him in a hoarse voice.

Andrew, who was still taking a nap, suddenly woke up with a start and fell off the sofa.

"Claire." He wiped his face, straightened up and walked to her hospital bed, "How do you feel?"

She asked sadly, "Not very well, what's wrong with me?"

Andrew looked at her pale face and hesitated to speak.

Claire turned up the volume, "What's wrong with me Andrew?"

Seeing her struggling to sit up, Andrew quickly raised the back of the bed so that she could lean more comfortably.

Then he said with a bad expression, "You're pregnant."

The girl on the bed froze suddenly, she turned her head mechanically, "What did you say?"

"You're pregnant Claire, the doctor said it's been a month."

Andrew sat down by the bed, took out a necklace from his pocket and put it in her hand, "Where have you been for the past half a year? Who did you marry again?"

Claire's eyes were focused on the silver ring, her gaze was dull.

"This is from your neck." Andrew held her hand, "It's a pair with your ring finger."

She stared at the ring in silence for a long while, then tremblingly gathered the necklace in her palm, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Claire!?" Seeing her crying, Andrew immediately panicked and hugged half of her body into his arms, "What's the matter?! Don't scare me."

Claire cried in his arms for a while, unable to control her grief, unable to speak a word.

Cassius returned the wedding ring to her, completely freeing her.

But this is no longer what she wants, they are already in love, he could have come to her world, they should have a future, they will have a good result.

It shouldn't be like this now, he shouldn't just die like this.

Andrew hugged her crying hard, with distressed eyes: "Claire! My sister, you are pregnant now! At least for the sake of the child and the body, don't cry!"

Hearing that there was still a child, Claire finally calmed down. She wiped away her tears, put the necklace around her neck again, and stroked her belly with trembling fingers, "It's been... a month?"

"Well, who is his father?" Andrew patiently handed a piece of paper to wipe her tears, and said angrily, "Did he abandon you?"

"abandon?"

Claire shook her head, with a bleak smile on her lips, "He was killed by the Zerg."

Without waiting for Andrew to reply, she looked down at her flat stomach and said in a low voice, "It shouldn't be a month, it shouldn't have been so long."

It had been less than two weeks since she had sex with Cassius last time, and it was still on the fighter plane back to Hope. No matter how long it took, this child would not last a month.

Hearing that she started talking nonsense, Andrew immediately went to call several doctors over to examine her.

After learning that Claire's spirit is normal, and seeing her current state, he still can't believe it.

"Where's my box?" Claire raised her head suddenly and asked him hastily, "A black round box, where is it?"

Seeing her panic, Andrew quickly took the small box from his pocket to her, "Here it is."

Claire took the box and held it tightly, her eyes calmed down a little.

It seems that only in this way can she truly feel that what has happened has not gone away, and she is still connected with them 5000 years later.

"What's this?" Andrew asked.

"Locator." Claire said softly.

Andrew frowned. Although he was confused, he was relieved to see her calm down slowly.

Donna also brought cooked food from home.

"I made some broth, and it tastes good with bread." She pushed Andrew aside, and said lovingly to Claire: "You must be uncomfortable after vomiting for so long, eat my poor child."

Feeling empty and uncomfortable in the stomach, after eating some hot soup and bread, Claire's complexion gradually improved.

At this time, Andrew told her everything that happened after she disappeared.

When she disappeared from mid-air, in order to find her whereabouts, he and his mother Donna turned to the media for help, and made the headlines of the bizarre news of her disappearance after jumping off a building.

Some people said that the family was putting on a show, and some people said that they saw the girl disappear out of thin air with their own eyes, but apart from the witnesses at the time, all the monitoring equipment was disturbed, and it was not impossible to prove that Claire disappeared by jumping off the building. Even the police investigation found nothing.

And this bizarre disappearance case finally became an unsolved unsolved case and was gradually forgotten.

When everyone thought that Claire might have died in some corner of the world, she appeared in front of them like a miracle intact.

"What happened during the time you disappeared out of thin air?" Andrew asked tentatively.

Both he and his mother, Donna, wanted to know where she went after she disappeared, and what happened to the child in her womb.

Claire pursed her bloody lips lightly, "I have traveled through time, 5000 years later."

Such a long story could not be finished for several days and nights, but during the few days in the ward, she still told them everything in detail.

During this period, her mother or Andrew frequently brought all the experts in psychiatry and psychology to see her.

The test results were all normal without exception, except for some physical weakness during pregnancy, everything was fine.

"The doctor said I don't have cancer anymore." Claire reminded them, "I don't have cancer that can't be cured in this society."

Not only was there nothing, the test results also showed that her current physical fitness and indicators far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Claire knew very well that it was due to long-term consumption of nutrient solution and meal replacement pills.

Donna and Andrew gradually accepted her rhetoric.

They accept that all unimaginable things have an unexpected ending, as long as the ending is good in the end.

"So, this child belongs to that heroic commander." Donna rubbed her stomach with a complicated expression, "He sacrificed for you and the people, you have to leave him a successor."

Claire felt a pain in her heart, and said bitterly: "Of course, I love him and this child."

She touched the necklace hanging around her neck with firm eyes, "He is my only husband, and I will raise our children to grow up safely."

"By the way, I found this thing out of your pocket when I helped you do the laundry." Donna took out a chip that looked like a USB flash drive and handed it to her, and said, "It's the one you replaced after you passed out. in a coat pocket."

Claire took the chip, her heart trembling.

She never expected that Jones would follow her to the earth. Martina had been keeping the chip before, and she must have slipped it in when she was unconscious when no one was paying attention.

Claire touched the uneven lines on the chip, and the smile on the corner of her lips became a little more real, "Maybe I can still see an old friend."

A week later, she was confirmed by the hospital to recover and discharged.

At the same time, the girl who jumped off the building, who had disappeared for nearly a year, reappeared in the public eye, which aroused the prying eyes of some media.

There is renewed interest in the 'liar news' that should have gone nowhere.

Andrew wanted to drive everyone away angrily, but was stopped by Claire.

She simply charged a high price to these media people and sold the story of her comeback as an exclusive interview.

There have been many Internet celebrity bloggers on the Internet who shared their experience of entering the so-called parallel world, whether marketing or facts, Claire followed suit, and obtained an objective reward by relying on such an exclusive media interview.

She knew that it had been almost a year since she disappeared, Andrew was already in school, and her mother was not in good health, plus spending so much money on treating her, life must be very difficult.

What's more, now. Claire reached out and touched her stomach.

There is no labor at home and she is pregnant again, so the expenses will only be even greater.

The summer in Washington is too hot. Since she disappeared, in order to provide for Andrew to go to school, Donna has repaid the rent from the house that she originally rented near the hospital. The house she lives in now is just a house converted from a container.

It was unbearable inside like a steamer in direct sunlight.

With the little money she earned from interviews, Claire added an air conditioner and a computer to the basic furniture.

When Andrew went to school, she helped Donna knit small things together.
